“Here’s what I mean by the miracle of language. When you’re falling into a good book, exactly as you might fall into a dream, a little conduit opens, a passageway between a reader’s heart and a writer’s, a connection that transcends the barriers of continents and generations and even death…And here’s the magic. You’re different. You can never go back to being exactly the same person you were before you disappeared into that book.”
–Anthony Doerr

JACQUELINE WOODSON

“Then I let the stories live
inside my head, again and again
until the real world fades back
into cricket lullabies
and my own dreams.”
–Jacqueline Woodson, Brown Girl Dreaming

CHERYL STRAYED

“You will learn a lot about yourself if you stretch in the direction of goodness, of bigness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of emotional bravery. Be a warrior for love.”–Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

GEORGE R.R. MARTIN
